Good video review bro. Also to ask, does it pick up environmental noises? Like if you have a fan blowing nearby, does that sound get picked up on a call or zoom call?
Well talked to Monster and they said No ... it's false ... it's only Silver or Gold Bands , nothing to do with Levels , they same Products with Identical features
i just returned my newly bought monster boomerang speaker, pls refer amazon review as below: The most AGGRESSIVE audio limiter I have ever encountered on any speaker. Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2021 At first glance, the Monster Boomerang is a premium product. It has nice packaging, and the built quality is good. It is flexible and comfortable to wear. However, it has one fatal flaw that makes this speaker completely unusable for music. And it's a shame, because it has so much else going for it. The big flaw is that the audio has a limiter that automatically kicks in whenever there is bass in a song, like a drum beat. So in rap music for example, the vocals will be loud until the beats and bass kicks in, and then the vocals go quiet. So if you turn it up to hear the vocals more clearly, then whenever the bass and beats stop in the song, you will be blasted with the vocals at much higher volume. Every time the kick drum hits, the mids and highs dip on you, a LOT. This kind of auto volume limiting I've encountered in audio software and I am very familiar with what it is intended to do. However, it is executed so poorly on the Boomerang that it entirely changes how a song sounds as it fluctuates the volume up and down, completely against what the song is intended to sound like. Look, I love most everything else about this. I have a cheapo "Lanniu" neck speaker also, and it has no bass at all compared to the Monster and often sounds tinny and distorted. The Monster should sound better, and it would, if it weren't for the awful sound processing on it. Yet I just don't enjoy at all when my music is fluctuating in volume so much whenever there is any bass. It ruins the entire music listening experience. You can use this for podcasts just fine, but if that's all you're doing, save your money and get a cheaper one. I enjoy using the cheaper neck speaker for music way more, because it's not messing with the rhythm and vibe of my music. Any song that has a beat, you will find the mids and highs dipping HARD for every kick drum and then going back up. It is infuriating how much this thing messes with the sound. If anyone is interested, I might record a video demonstrating this effect on the Monster Boomerang and compare it to other speakers, and I could link the original audio as well so you can really tell the difference. Trust me, it is a VERY aggressive limiter on this thing and it's an absolute shame, a major oversight on a product intended for listening to music. I cannot recommend this to anyone if they intend to use it for music. Sorry, Monster. This is a fail. Perhaps it could be fixed with a firmware update. But until then, one star. 160 people found this helpful
Fam you keep bringing these videos out and my son comes to me Everytime, dad what do you think of these lol
yes please , witch one is to get the bose or monster?? I know what the bose sound like but not the monster?
How’s the audio latency? When you play games on your phone, is there a delay?
Good video review bro. Also to ask, does it pick up environmental noises? Like if you have a fan blowing nearby, does that sound get picked up on a call or zoom call?
Only if blowing directly... But thry are quite good at cancelling out wind when tiding my bike
I like your accent, sounds like a mix of British and Jamaican. Pretty cool!

A tech reviewer who can't replace the battery in his smoke detector :) Still an awesome review.

Well talked to Monster and they said No ... it's false ... it's only Silver or Gold Bands , nothing to do with Levels , they same Products with Identical features
Hi. How does the mic wotk? Is it good for video call? Does it pick a lot of ambient sound? Thanks
It's not too bad, but not better than the average phone I'd say.
@@TechJamo Thanks
4:10 I was wondering about that! But do they stay in place while doing stuff?! Like housework or lawn care? 🤔
Oh yeah they don't really move about as much as you'd think!
Have you hooked it up to monster app? If so how did you do it? Because I can't seem to do it 😤
I dont seem to be able to do it either actually
Did you eventually test it against bose? or sony?
No I didn't unfortunately 😢
